Here you get a short introduction on what Risk Assessment is and how OiRA can help you manage it.

## What is Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment is the basis for successful safety and health management, and the key to reducing work-related accidents and occupational diseases. If it is implemented well, it can improve workplace safety and health - and business performance in general.

Worker’s safety and health is protected in Europe by an approach based on assessing and managing risk. Employers have a general duty to ensure the safety and health of workers in every aspect related to work and to carry out a risk assessment. Every company must therefore conduct a risk assessment and draw up an action plan. In order to carry out effective workplace risk assessment, all those involved require a clear understanding of:

- the legal context and concepts
- the process used to assess the risks
- the role to be played by the main actors involved in the process

Workers and/or their representatives have the right to be consulted on arrangements to carry out and participate in the risk assessment.

More information on risk assessment and about the participation of workers and/or their representatives in the risk assessment process.
